HTC One users across the pond: your time has come. We're hearing from multiple sources across the Internet that HTC One units in continental Europe and Russia are being updated to the latest version of Android right now. The first one to tip us was reader Matiss Justs, who got the over-the-air alert for Android 4.4.2 just before noon local time (4AM EST) in Latvia.

Other users are reporting in from Finland, Norway, Romania, the Czech Republic, Russia, and Spain. I think it's safe to say that the update is spreading through the major European markets at the moment, though we haven't heard anything from the United Kingdom or Ireland.

The update is just north of 300 megabytes, and in addition to all the goodies from Android 4.4.2, it adds a few fixes for security, Bluetooth, and cloud printing on the One. Also, it looks like HTC has revamped the default browser, which means that support for Flash is now gone. As usual you can try to initiate a manual update via the Android settings menu, or start digging for a localized OTA file at your usual Android forum haunt. If you're seeing the One 4.4.2 update in any of the countries we haven't mentioned here, drop us a line in the comments section.

The update is also out in Macedonia! But very disappointed with the fact that Flash is being removed.

I get outstanding battery life on 4.3. I'm going to hold my horses and wait for feedback to see if this changes because most custom ROMs I tried that were KitKat had horrid battery life.

Denmark around noon. Very few changes. Such a hype for almost nothing

Fix the purple haze on the camera please!

dev

That's issue with camera you need to send it to HTC to replace the camera. I had to do same.

dev

Camera purple fix is hardware problem. I had to send mine to HTC under warranty to fix it.

stasik

Just received my update in the UK
Today 25/02/2014
Better late then never

My wife's phone and a mate of mine do not have the update here in the uk

saltyzip

Still waiting for update in the UK... AP you help with getting HTC UK to respond to see if update has been pulled? Website still showing in integration testing. Are HP playing silly buggers, saying it's rolling out when in fact it's not, at least not anymore???

mike

So I just update my HTC one believing it ws the 4.4.2 version but it took me back to 4.1.2 WTF??????

VictoriaNLGEO

I've got the update now for a day or two .. the alarm clock does not work anymore when the phone is turned off ... Is there a possibility to activate it after the phone is turned of .. like is was possible with Android 4.3??

pipolaki

Hell yeah, i'm searching an answer to this problem since the day after kitkat update ! That's a huge pain in the ass...seriously, is there any way to fix this?

TaBooT

with new update 4.4.2 the battery live is going very low

Marco Revilla

Here's an idea. Patch the update to allow flash support. I don't see this as a move forwards in tech, but a step backwards. If majority of websites use flash, it was a stupid move to drop the support and whoever got the genius idea to do so needs to have themselves examined to see if they ate in touch with reality.
